Sandpiper 4C is the best condo on the beach for families. The unit has excellent amenities that are continually updated. New paint, washer/dryer, and living room furniture over the past few years make this unit a great place to stay. The unit is always clean and the bed configuration is great for families. We have been visiting GS for spring break since 2006 and always try to book 4C!

Great location! Sandpiper is an excellent property choice. The units vary in how the owners choose to update them. The coil stove and washer/dryer work well but should be updated they are loud. The coil stove is dated but also works well. The pull out sofa bed is comfortable and television is not wall mounted- something to consider if you are traveling with small children.

We really enjoyed our stay in 4C, it was quiet, clean, and comfortable. The AC worked really well, plus there were ceiling fans in both bedrooms. The bathrooms were clean and spacious, water pressure in the shower could have been a little better, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. The location of the condominium was in a great location. Towards the end of the week (a few days after Tropical Storm Cristobal), the beaches were pretty crowded, not a lot of space to spread out and play games on the beach without stumbling over others. We really enjoyed our stay here!

The location of this condo is wonderful and perfect for families with children. My only complaint is that it was not well stocked- no chairs or toys for the beach, no trash bags, and 2 rolls of toilet paper. Beds were not the most comfortable, but they were fine.

Manager's Response

Sandpiper is a wonderful, family-friendly property, with unit 4C being especially nice. Beach chairs and toys are not standard in our condos, and all guests are notified that only an initial supply of toilet paper and products is supplied. We would love to have you stay with us in the future!

Sandpiper is a lovely property, and on mild days, soaking in the sun on the balcony overlooking the pool area is wonderful! Unit 4C is very nicely furnished and a great condo to book, no matter the season or weather.

We have stayed in several different condos at the Sandpiper over the years. We really liked 4C. This visit was my husband, daughter and myself. We are turning in October for a "girls" trip with my daughter, my mom, sister, and myself. If 4C were available, I would definitely stay in it again but unfortunately it is not. I had to call Bender's two times due to unruly kids in the pool and they were attentive to the situation. We have never been disappointed with Bender's or the Sandpiper.

Our stay in 4C was nice. We enjoyed our stay with family and friends. The beach is beautiful and accommodations fit our needs. The most inconvenient part was not being able to keep a tent on the beach, but this is no fault of our condo. Overall, we very much enjoyed our week in 4C.

We have been coming to the Sandpiper for 10 years and have stayed in several different units over the years. 4C is our favorite unit hands down! The tile floor, king size bed and two double beds, and Keurig coffee maker are little extras that set it apart from other units. We can't wait to return next year to 4C!

Overall I thought the mini vacation was great. Location was perfect and the beach was beautiful. The condo was clean and comfortable, but lacking supplies. One roll of toilet paper per bath with no back up rolls was rediculous. One trash bag was another downfall. Those two things are expected! It's not like I'm packing trash bags and toilet paper when I'm paying $510 for three nights.

We had a great experience! However, we heard a rumor while we were there that canopies will no longer be allowed to stay on the beach overnight. I hope that's not the case. That's the main reason we drove 16 hours from we could have our own "private" section of the beach without having to take everything down every night. If we find that this is rumor is NOT true...then we'll definitely be back fur another great beach experience!

Dirty floor - your white socks should not be black
Parking - Really? $12 per vehicle. Not sure if there are enough parking spots if complex was sold out. What's next fee to use the pool or access fee to beach?

Quiet and peaceful, lot of families, nice views of the ocean, very nice grilling area.

Not sure if the volleyball court belongs to the complex, but playing on broken sea shells is not good. Saw a girl slice her foot open.

Once again our family had a fabulous week in Gulf Shores. A large part of our positive experience is due to Bender Realty and the condition of 4C. The gals at Bender are a pleasure to work with. Sandpiper 4C is an excellent unit for a family of four plus friends for the kids. This was our third stay in this unit and it did not disappoint. The unit is always clean and the furniture and bedding makes a great home away from home. We will miss not being able to stay in 4C next year!

We stayed here from July 5th thru July 12th. Our condo was ready by 3pm on Saturday. It was very clean and ready when we walked in! It had tile thru out, which is nice for easy clean up. We loved the keyless entry-didn't have to keep track of a key, just had to remember a simple code! Would definitely stay here again. The gals in the office at Bender were very pleasant and easy to work with. The only minor issue is the pool should be monitored a bit closer as there were kids with no supervision at times, other than that-GREAT PLACE TO STAY!!!

We had a wonderful time. Although the beach restoration disturbed us a bit and we were inconvenienced that we couldn't use the beach but after a week that was cleared up. Our family came for Christmas and they wanted to swim but the pool was turned off. Is there a possibility that the condo association could purchase a pool cover and keep it heated during the winter so other snow birds can use it too? Will come back again.

Interesting to watch the progress on how they blow sand onto the beach, quite a procedure.

This was our second year to stay in this unit. Last year was two weeks, this year was a month. It's a beautiful location...right on the beach. The Bender staff is great to work with, and the other residents at the Sandpiper were just fun, friendly, wonderful people. When I look up and down the beach at all the high rise condo buildings, I am very glad that we found the Sandpiper. Its open, wrap around deck, provides an opportunity to party with the neighbors, yet the receded individual decks allow for privacy if wanted. The individual unit was great. Everything was provided. The beds were very comfortable and the place was clean.

My only complaint is that I couldn't book it for the same month next year. And while I understand that the owners would rather book for 2-3 months if possible, I will be very disappointed if there are no units available when they take bookings in September for those of us who only have the opportunity to stay for 1 month.

I really, really want to go back!

Our unit was very well equipped with everything we needed to stay more than a couple of nights. Very clean, beds comfy, overall very nice. Only problem was there was suppose to be a heated pool (which would have been nice since it was cold), however, when we got there the pool was closed and there was no water in it. We were not notified about this in advance or at check in. It would have been nice to have other options for swimming, or given a break on the rate of the condo since we could not use the pool.

I would highly recommend this place. The beach is absolutely beautiful and you can walk for miles. The unit we stayed in was well furnished and very clean...with very comfortable beds. Had some problems with the refrigerator, but Bender fixed it immediately. (Extremely pleasant people to deal with) We will return next year. The winter residents there were very friendly and social. The only disappointment was that the pool doesn't get heated until sometime in March.

The location of 4C is very good, but the unit needs some improvements. The washer needs replacing--over an hour to dry a medium load of towels. The the living area needs beter chairs and less large glass tables. Tables with shelves or drawers would be great. The dining table of glass is too large and a lot of work for the occupants. The chairs would go with a white or wood finish
table. The bedding looks nice, but no place to put it in hot weather. Lighting in the master bedroom and living area is poor for people who like to read.

There needs to be a separate place to park contractor vehicles--like across the street.

Thankyou for you comments. We will check out the washer situation and we appreciate your patience with the contractor activity on the property during your stay.

We discovered the Alabama gulf coast as a well kept secret in 1985 and have been returning as frequently as possible ever since. Gulf Shores and the Sandpiper have become a family tradition for 3 generations.

We really needed comfortable chairs for lounging.

Manager's Response

Owner of this unit visits often, and replenishes items immediately to inusre their tenants have and enjoyable stay. When items are missing before their next visit, a call to Bender Realty is all it takes to have utensils replaced or a new blanket brought to the condo. Owners care about their guests - they hope you will come back!

Needs up to date furniture and kitchen utensils. Needs supplimental floor coverings such as throw rugs. 100% ceramic floors can be dngerous when wet and are uncomfortable to walk on. The 2 bath tubs should be furnished with "non-slip" surfaces.

The dish washer and washer dryer are inefficient and energy waisters an need to be replace. Another livingroom chair would be quite nice. The present one is uncomfortable.

Manager's Response

Owners took possession of Sandpiper 4C mid-year, 2007. Since then, the condo has been completely painted, ceramic tile installed throughout, kitchen and bath cabinets and drawers reworked, and new kitchen counter top installed. New furniture includes the sleeper sofa, dining table with six side chairs, and the guest bedroom set, (including bedding). New cushions were placed on the refurbished chairs in the living room. New blinds were installed on each window.

New appliances include the stove, microwave, dishwsher, and washer / dryer. Televisions have been replaced with upgrades.
